Dual wheel adapters

Recommended Posts

Hey guys, I wanted to try my hand at making some dual wheel adapters. I was wondering if someone who has an original set or has a real good reproduction could give me dimensions and specs. Thanks.

Here's the original deal (thanks Matt!)

I can get you some measures at some point...the key on the originals is those spacer/lugs. There's soemthing to passing your tube through the plate to get a good weld etc also. I cannot imagine either of these ever breaking.

Thanks a lot Josh. I already have a plan for those hex-spacer-bolts :D I guess all i need to know is how long the hex part of those bolts is and how long to make the piece of tube to connect the 2 round plates.

That looks impressive like a large farm tractor. A friend ran dual 10.50's on an Allis 16 hp and we did not space them out from the original hubs. The tires almost touch together . A year of use on the ball field and the axle snapped off on the left side. He also sheared the two keys on the axle sun gear in the diff later on. Be carefull as to what you do with them installed. The spacers came from a CASE/DAVIS trencher and bolt right on. Ken

If someone is willing to ship me a part, I can have an Easy5 print made up similar to this one. I would then upload it onto the site. The copies that I have in my computer are PDFs.
